PART I
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited, condensed financial statements included
herein, commencing at page F-1, have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of Regulation S-B and supplementary financial information included
herein, if any, has been prepared in accordance with Item 310(b) of Regulation
S-B and, therefore, omit or condense certain footnotes and other information
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally

(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial information for the interim periods reported have
been made. Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
from inception (February 2, 1996) to the period ended June 30, 1999, are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 1999.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward-looking Statements
The statements contained herein that are not historical are
"forward-looking statements" (as such term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will,"
"should" or "anticipates" or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and
uncertainties. Management of the Company wish to caution the reader that the
forward-looking statements referred to above and contained herein regarding
matters that are not historical facts involve predictions. No assurance can be
given that the future results will be achieved as actual events or results may
differ materially as a result of risks facing the Company.
Frost Hanna Capital Group, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in
February 1996 to seek to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset
acquisition or similar business combination (a "Business Combination") with an
acquired business (an "Acquired Business"). In connection with its initial
capitalization, the Company issued 1,557,000 shares of its Common Stock to its
officers, directors and other shareholders for an aggregate sum of $216,613. On
September 22, 1997, the Company's Registration Statement on Form SB-2
(the"Registration Statement") was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company, in
its initial public offering of securities, offered and sold 1,100,202 shares of
Common Stock, (sometimes referred to as, the "Public Shares"), at a purchase
price of $6.00 per share (the "Offering"), and received net proceeds of
approximately $5,875,079 (which amount, less estimated expenses of the
Offering, is referred to herein as the "Net Proceeds"). In addition, the
Company issued Underwriter Options to purchase 110,020 shares of Common Stock.
The Offering was a "blank check" offering.
On May 27, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with FHGB Acquisition Corporation, a
New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Gaines,
Berland Inc., a New York corporation ("Gaines Berland"), GBI Trading Corp., a
New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaines Berland, and Gaines
Berland Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Gaines Berland, which provided, among other things, (i) for the merger of FHGB
Acquisition Corporation with and into Gaines Berland ("Merger") with Gaines
Berland surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company and (ii) that each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Gaines Berland that is issued and outstanding at the effective time of the
Merger will be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted (subject
to certain adjustments) into the right to receive 21,917 shares of Common Stock
of the Company. As a result of the Merger, the holders of Gaines Berland common
stock will be issued an aggregate of up to 16,000,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock and, as a consequence, will then hold up to approximately 85% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock. A copy of
the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as an exhibit. The meeting of Frost
Hanna shareholders to consider the Merger is presently scheduled for August 23,
1999.
Approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement requires (i)
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding
shares of the Company's Common Stock and (ii) that holders of less than 30% of
the
1
Public Shares issued in the Company's Offering vote against the approval and
adoption of the Merger Agreement. Holders of the Public Shares issued in the
Company's Offering are sometimes referred to as "Non-Affiliated Company
Shareholders."
On July 30, 1999, the Company filed a proxy statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Merger transaction (the
"Proxy Statement"). The Company has convened a special meeting of shareholders
of the Company to be held on August 23, 1999 (the "Special Meeting") for the
purpose of considering and voting upon (i) a proposal to approve and adopt the
Merger Agreement; (ii) a proposal to amend the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to change the Company's name to "GBI Capital Management Corp.";
(iii) a proposal to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to provide
for an authorized class of preferred stock consisting of 2,000,000 shares, par
value $.0001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), with rights, preferences and
designations of such shares to be determined by the Company's board of
directors; (iv) a proposal to elect six members of the Company's board of
directors, such members to hold office commencing on the effective date of the
Merger and until the next annual meeting of shareholders; (v) a proposal to
approve the Company's 1999 Performance Equity Plan; (vi) a proposal to approve
the Company's Annual Incentive Bonus Plan; (vii) a proposal to approve the
Company's Special Performance Incentive Plan and (viii) to transact any other
business that may properly come before the Special Meeting, or any adjournment
or postponement thereof. Approval of the aforesaid proposals (ii) through (vii)
will only be deemed to be effective if the Merger Agreement is approved and
adopted. The plans referred to in proposals (v), (vi) and (vii) above will only
apply to those persons who are Gaines Berland employees and will not apply to
any of the officers or employees of the Company as of the date of the Proxy
Statement.
The Company's board of directors has unanimously approved the
Merger Agreement and recommended that the shareholders of the Company vote
their shares for approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the other
proposals listed above and for the election of the six persons nominated to be
new directors of the Company. The Company's directors (including a former
director) and executive officers who presently own, in the aggregate,
approximately 49.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock have agreed, with respect to the proposal to approve and adopt the
Merger Agreement, to vote their respective shares of the Company's Common Stock
in accordance with the vote of the majority of the Public Shares issued in the
Company's Offering. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, July 22,
1999, there were 2,657,202 issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock, of which 1,182,536 Public Shares are held by Non-Affiliated
Company Shareholders.
If a majority of the Company's Common Stock held and voted by
Non-Affiliated Company Shareholders is voted in favor of the Merger, the
Company's directors (including a former director) and officers who presently
own 49.8%, will vote their shares of the Company's Common Stock in favor of the
Merger and the other proposals described in the Proxy Statement and such
proposals would be approved, including the election of the nominees to be the
new directors of the Company. If the Merger is not approved by the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company's Common Stock
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, or if so approved, 30% or more in
interest of all Public Shares are actually voted against approval of the
Merger, the Merger Agreement will be terminated and the proposed Merger
abandoned.
Each Non-Affiliated Company Shareholder as of July 22, 1999,
the record date for the Special Meeting, will have the right (collectively, the
"Redemption Rights") until the time of the vote on the proposal to adopt and
approve the Merger Agreement to offer his or her shares of the Company's Common
Stock for redemption (the "Redemption") at a price equal to the Company's
liquidation value divided by the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
held by all Non-Affiliated Company Shareholders, calculated as of the record
date (the "Redemption Value"). The Redemption Value is equal to its book value,
as determined by the Company and audited by its independent public accountants,
calculated as of the record date. The Redemption Value as of June 30, 1999 was
approximately $4.00 per share, based on the expenses incurred by the Company
subsequent to March 31, 1999, which consist primarily of legal and accounting
fees of approximately $350,000 in connection with the preparation of the Merger
Agreement, the Proxy Statement and other matters. Company shareholders who
abstain or otherwise do not actually vote against the proposal to approve and
adopt the Merger (including any broker non-votes) will not be entitled to
exercise the Redemption Rights. If less than 30% of the shares of the Company's
Common Stock held by Non-Affiliated Company Shareholders are voted against
approval of the Merger and if such Non-Affiliated Company Shareholders also
elect to have their shares of the Company's Common Stock redeemed, then, if the
Merger is consummated, the Company will, utilizing funds held in escrow, redeem
shares of the
2
Company's Common Stock at the Redemption Value from those Company shareholders
who affirmatively requested such redemption and who actually voted against
approval of the Merger. If 30% or more in interest of the Company's Common
Stock held by Non-Affiliated Company Shareholders vote against approval of the
Merger, the proposed Merger will be terminated, the Company will not proceed
with the Merger and will not redeem such shares.
Liquidity and Capital Resources/Plan of Operation
As of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $147,802 and $358,499, restricted
short-term investments of $4,913,016 and $4,816,700, property and equipment of
$14,019 and $17,669 and prepaid expenses of $3,870 and $17,725. As of June 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, the Company had total liabilities of
$364,950 and $17,878 and total stockholders' equity of $4,713,757 and
$5,192,715. Following the consummation of the Offering, eighty percent (80%) of
the Net Proceeds ($4,560,069) (the "Escrow Fund"), were delivered to Fiduciary
Trust International of the South, as Escrow Agent, to be held in escrow by such
firm, until the earlier of (i) written notification by the Company of its need
for all or substantially all of the Escrow Fund for the purpose of implementing
a Business Combination; or (ii) the exercise by certain shareholders of
redemption rights which will be offered at the time the Company seeks
shareholder approval of any potential Business Combination. As of June 30,
1999, there was $4,913,740 in the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund is currently
invested in United States government-backed short-term securities.
Other than the Escrow Fund, the Company, as of June 30, 1999
and December 31, 1998, respectively, had $147,802 and $358,499 in cash,
substantially all of which was received from the Offering (other than interest
income earned thereon) (the "Operating Funds"). The Company believes that the
Operating Funds will be sufficient for its cash requirements for at least the
next twelve months. However, in the event that the Merger is not consummated,
the Company would be required to obtain additional debt or equity financing in
order to continue its operations. There is no assurance that such financing
would be available to the Company on satisfactory terms, if at all.
Pursuant to employment agreements, the Company pays to each
of Mr. Richard Frost, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the
Company, and Mr. Mark Hanna, President of the Company, $10,000 monthly for
salary and $1,000 monthly each for Messrs. Frost's and Hanna's non-accountable
expense allowance. In the event the Company requires in excess of 20% of the
Net Proceeds for operations, Messrs. Frost and Hanna have undertaken to defer
their salaries and expense allowances, prospectively, until the consummation by
the Company of a Business Combination.
Key Man Insurance
The Company has obtained $1,000,000 "key man" term policies
insuring each of the lives of Messrs. Frost and Hanna. There can be no
assurances that such"key man" insurance will be maintained at reasonable rates,
if at all. The loss, incapacity or unavailability of any of Messrs. Frost or
Hanna at the present time or in the foreseeable future, before a qualified
replacement was obtained, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations. In connection with the purchase by the Company of such policies,
the Marshal E. Rosenberg Organization, Inc., a firm in which Dr. Rosenberg, a
director of the Company, is an officer, director and sole shareholder, received
a commission of approximately $5,624 in 1998, $4,464 in 1997 and $2,700 in
1996. No further commissions are contemplated to be earned in connection with
the purchase of such "key man" life insurance policies. Pursuant to the terms
of the Merger Agreement, these "key man" life insurance policies will be
terminated or transferred to Messrs. Frost and Hanna prior to the consummation
of the Merger, and the Company would have no obligations to make premium
payments thereunder after the effective time of the Merger.
Conflicts of Interest
None of the Company's key personnel are required to commit
their full time to the affairs of the Company and, accordingly, such personnel
may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various
business activities. Certain of these key personnel may in the future become
affiliated with entities, including other "blank check" companies, engaged in
business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by the Company.
Dr. Rosenberg is an
3
investor in numerous private enterprises that are engaged in, among other
things, real estate development and retail sales, which business interests may
conflict with those of an Acquired Business. Mr. Donald Baxter, a director of
the Company, is the President of Baxter Financial Corporation, an investment
advisory firm, and the President and Chairman of the Philadelphia Fund and
Eagle Growth Shares, mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940. Mr. Robert Escobio, Jr., a director of the Company, is the Senior Vice
President and Managing Director of Cardinal Capital Management, Inc. (f/k/a
Community Investment Services, Inc.) ("Cardinal") and serves as a member of
Cardinal's Board of Directors. Mr. Alan Freeman, a director of the Company, is
a partner in the accounting firm of Freeman, Buzyner & Gero and serves as a
member of the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Audit Committee for
Allstate Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: ASFN).
In the course of their other business activities, including
private investment activities, Messrs. Frost, Hanna, Baxter, Rosenberg, Escobio
and Freeman may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may
be appropriate for presentation to the Company as well as the other entities
with which they are affiliated. Such persons may have conflicts of interest in
determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be
presented. In general, officers and directors of corporations incorporated
under the laws of the State of Florida are required to present certain business
opportunities to such corporations. Accordingly, as a result of multiple
business affiliations, Messrs. Frost, Hanna, Baxter, Rosenberg, Escobio and
Freeman may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting certain
business opportunities to the various entities upon which they serve as
directors. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise in connection with
evaluations of a particular business opportunity by the Board of Directors with
respect to the foregoing criteria. There can be no assurances that any of the
foregoing conflicts will be resolved in favor of the Company. In order to
minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple
corporate affiliations, each of Messrs. Frost, Hanna, Baxter and Rosenberg have
agreed to present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation
to any other entity, any prospective Acquired Business which is appropriate for
the Company to consider and which prospective Acquired Business participates in
an industry dissimilar to any of the industries to which such individuals have
corporate affiliations. It should be further noted that the Company shall not
consider Business Combinations with entities owned or controlled by officers,
directors, greater than 10% shareholders of the Company or any person who
directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control
with the Company. The Company may consider Business Combinations with entities
owned or controlled by persons other than those persons described above. There
can be no assurances that any of the foregoing conflicts will be resolved in
favor of the Company.
Pursuant to an agreement among each of Messrs. Frost, Hanna,
Baxter, and Rosenberg and the Company, such persons will not (i) actively
negotiate for or otherwise consent to the disposition of any portion of their
Common Stock at a per share price different than that offered with respect to
the Public Shares as a condition to or in connection with a Business
Combination or (ii) cause any securities of the Company to be sold by any
officers, directors, greater than 10% shareholders or persons who may be deemed
promoters of the Company except as may otherwise be made in permitted market
transactions without affording all shareholders of the Company a similar
opportunity. Further, the Company shall not borrow funds to be used directly or
indirectly to (i) purchase any shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by
management of the Company or (ii) make payments to the Company's promoters,
management or their affiliates or associates.
Prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement, the
Company will prepay through February 28, 2000 the rent for its executive
offices. After the consummation of the Merger Agreement, such offices would be
available for use by the current officers of the Company, even though they
would no longer be officers of the Company.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not presently a party to any material
litigation, nor to the knowledge of management, is any such litigation
presently threatened.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
(a) Not Applicable.
(b) The Company's board of directors is seeking the approval of the
Company's shareholders at the Special Meeting of an amendment to the Company's
Articles of Incorporation (the "Preferred Stock Amendment"), to provided for an
authorized class of preferred stock, consisting of 2,000,000 shares, par value
$.0001 per share ("Preferred Stock"). Even if the Company's shareholders
approve the Preferred Stock Amendment, the effectiveness of the Preferred Stock
Amendment is contingent upon the approval by the shareholders of the Merger
Agreement.
The Board of Directors approved the Preferred Stock Amendment
on May 27, 1999, subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders. The
proposed amendment would vest in the Company's board of directors the authority
to designate one or more series of up to a total of 2,000,000 outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock, and to determine the designations, preferences and
limitations of each such series, including, but not limited to, (i) the number
of shares, (ii) dividend rights, (iii) voting rights, (iv) conversion
privileges, (v) redemption provisions, (vi) sinking fund provisions and (vii)
rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Such
provisions are often referred to as a "blank check" provisions, as they give
the board of directors the flexibility, at any time or from time to time,
without further shareholder approval, to create one or more series of preferred
stock. If the proposed amendment is approved by the shareholders, it will
become effective upon filing and recording a certificate of amendment to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation.
No Preferred Stock currently is outstanding and neither the
current directors, nor the nominees for directors of the Company have any
present plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock. If any series of
Preferred Stock authorized by the board of directors provides for dividends,
such dividends, when and as declared by the board of directors out of any funds
legally available therefore, may be cumulative and may have a preference over
the Company's Common Stock as to the payment of such dividends. In addition, if
any series of Preferred Stock authorized by the board of directors so provides,
in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each such series of the then
outstanding Preferred Stock may be entitled to receive, prior to the
distribution of any assets or funds to the holders of the Company's Common
Stock, a liquidation preference established by the board of Directors, together
with all accumulated and unpaid dividends. Depending upon the consideration
paid for Preferred Stock, the liquidation preference of Preferred Stock and
other matters, the issuance of Preferred Stock could therefore result in a
reduction in the assets available for distribution to the holders of the
Company's Common Stock in the event of liquidation of the Company. The
Company's shareholders do not have any preemptive rights to acquire Preferred
Stock or any other securities of the Company.
(c) Not Applicable.

FROST HANNA CAPITAL GROUP, INC.
(A Development Stage Corporation)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
Frost Hanna Capital Group, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on February 2, 1996
to seek to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or
similar business combination (a "Business Combination") with an operating or
development stage business (an "Acquired Business"). The Company is currently
in the development stage and all efforts of the Company to date have been
limited to organizational activities.
As further discussed in Note 3, on October 16, 1997, the Company consummated an
initial public offering of its securities (the "Offering").
The Offering was considered a "blank check" offering. Blank check offerings are
characterized by an absence of substantive disclosures related to the use of
the net proceeds of the offering. Although substantially all of the net
proceeds of the Offering are intended to be utilized to effect a Business
Combination, the net proceeds are not being designated for any one specific
purpose. The Company has identified an acquisition target (see Note 7).
Upon completion of the Offering, 80% of the net proceeds therefrom were placed
in an interest bearing escrow account (the "Escrow Fund"), subject to release
upon the earlier of (i) written notification by the Company of its need for all
or substantially all of the Escrow Fund for the purpose of implementing a
Business Combination, or (ii) the exercise by certain shareholders of the
Redemption Offer (as hereinafter defined). Any interest earned on the Escrow
Fund shall remain in escrow and be used by the Company either (i) following a
Business Combination in connection with the operations of an Acquired Business
or (ii) in connection with the distribution to the shareholders through the
exercise of the Redemption Offer or the liquidation of the Company. In the
event the Company requires in excess of 20% of the net proceeds for operations,
Messrs. Richard B. Frost, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Directors; and Mark J. Hanna, President and Director, have undertaken to defer
their salaries and expense allowances prospectively until the consummation by
the Company of a Business Combination (see Note 5). Investors' funds may be
escrowed for an indefinite period of time following the consummation of the
Offering. Further, there can be no assurances that the Company will ever
consummate a Business Combination. In the event of the exercise of the
Redemption Offer, investors may only recoup a portion of their investment. The
Company currently has no expectation with regard to the Company's plans in the
event a Business Combination is not consummated by a certain date.
F-5
The Company, prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, will submit
such transaction to the Company's shareholders for their approval. In the
event, however, that the holders of 30% or more of the shares of the Company's
common stock sold in the Offering which are outstanding vote against approval
of any Business Combination, the Company will not consummate such Business
Combination. The shares of common stock sold in the Offering may sometimes be
referred to as the "Public Shares" and the holders (whether current or future)
of the Public Shares are referred to as "Public Shareholders". All of the
officers and directors of the Company, who owned in the aggregate approximately
43.6% of the common stock outstanding prior to the Offering, have agreed to
vote their respective shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the
majority of the Public Shares with respect to any such Business Combination.
At the time the Company seeks shareholder approval of any potential Business
Combination, the Company will offer (the "Redemption Offer") to each of the
Public Shareholders who vote against the proposed Business Combination and
affirmatively request redemption, to redeem all, but not a portion of, their
Public Shares, at a per share price equal to the Company's liquidation value on
the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote upon the
proposal to approve such Business Combination (the "Record Date") divided by the
number of Public Shares. The Company's liquidation value will be equal to the
Company's book value, as determined by the Company, calculated as of the Record
Date. In no event, however, will the Company's liquidation value be less than
the Escrow Fund, inclusive of any net interest income thereon. If the holders of
less than 30% of the Public Shares held by Public Shareholders elect to have
their shares redeemed, the Company may, but will not be required to, proceed
with such Business Combination. If the Company elects to so proceed, it will
redeem the Public Shares, based upon the Company's liquidation value, from those
Public Shareholders who affirmatively requested such redemption and who voted
against the Business Combination. However, if the holders of 30% or more of the
Public Shares held by Public Shareholders vote against approval of any potential
Business Combination, the Company will not proceed with such Business
Combination and will not redeem such Public Shares. If the Company determines
not to pursue a Business Combination, even if the Public Shareholders of less
than 30% of the Public Shares vote against approval of the potential Business
Combination, no Public Shares will be redeemed.
As a result of its limited resources, the Company will, in all likelihood, have
the ability to effect only a single Business Combination. Accordingly, the
prospects for the Company's success will be entirely dependent upon the future
performance of a single business.
The Company is in the development stage, has had no revenues to date and is
entirely dependent upon the proceeds of the Offering to commence operations
relating to selection of a prospective Acquired Business. The Company will not
receive any revenues, other than interest income, until, at the earliest, the
consummation of a Business Combination. In the event that the proceeds of the
Offering prove to be insufficient for purposes of effecting a Business
Combination, the Company will be required to seek additional financing. In the
event no Business Combination is identified, negotiations are incomplete or no
F-6
Business Combination has been consummated, and all of the proceeds of the
Offering other than the Escrow Fund have been expended, the Company currently
has no plans or arrangements with respect to the possible acquisition of
additional financing which may be required to continue the operations of the
Company. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully effect a Business Combination.
The accompanying information has been prepared to conform with Rule 419 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which was adopted to strengthen the
regulation of securities offered by "blank check" companies. A blank check
company is defined as (a) a development stage company that has no specific
business plan or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger
or acquisition with an unidentified company and (b) a company which issues
securities that, among other things, (i) are not quoted in the NASDAQ system,
or, (ii) in the case of a company which has been in continuous operation for
less than three years, has net tangible assets of less than $5,000,000.
Although the Company is a "blank check" company, it does not believe that Rule
419 is applicable to it in view of the fact that its net tangible assets
exceeded $5,000,000 at the offering date. Accordingly, investors in the
Offering did not and do not receive the substantive protection provided by Rule
419. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the United States Congress
will not enact legislation which will prohibit or restrict the sale of
securities of "blank check" companies.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company as of June 30, 1999, and the results of operations for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and cash flows for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or
cash flows which may be reported for the remainder of 1999.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which establishes standards to reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in
equity during the financial reporting period of a business enterprise resulting
from nonowner sources. The Company has adopted SFAS 130. There is no impact
from SFAS 130 as net income is equal to comprehensive income for all years
presented.
F-7
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" which requires that a public business
enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable
operating segments including, among other things, a measure of segment profit
or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment assets.
Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact or require additional
disclosure.
In February 1998, SFAS 132 was issued by the FASB establishing accounting and
reporting standards for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The Company
does not have any pensions or other postretirement benefits. Accordingly,
adoption of this standard will not affect the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
In June 1998, SFAS 133 was issued by the FASB establishing accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The
Company does not have any derivative instruments or use any hedging activities.
Accordingly, adoption of this standard will not affect the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
3. PUBLIC OFFERING OF SECURITIES
In the Offering, which closed on October 16, 1997, the Company sold to the
public 1,100,202 shares of its common stock, at a price of $6 per share. Net
proceeds totaled $5,587,053.
In connection with the Offering, the Company has sold to the underwriter, at an
aggregate price of $110, warrants (the "Underwriter Options") to purchase up to
110,020 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $9.90 per
share. The Underwriter Options are exercisable for a period of four years
commencing October 16, 1998.
The Company has accounted for the Underwriter Options issued in 1997 in
accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which
applies to transactions with non-employees. In accordance with SFAS No. 123,
the issuance of the Underwriter Options was recorded as a cost of the Offering.
4. COMMON STOCK
The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000
shares of common stock. As of March 31, 1998, there is a minimum of 97,232,778
(unaudited) authorized but unissued shares of common stock available for
issuance (after appropriate reserves for the issuance of common stock upon full
exercise of the Underwriter Options). The Company's Board of Directors has the
power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued common stock without
shareholder approval. The Company currently has no commitments to issue any
shares of common stock other than as described in the Offering; however, the
F-8
Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional
shares in connection with a Business Combination. To the extent that additional
shares of common stock are issued, dilution of the interests of the Company's
shareholders participating in the Offering may occur.
In June 1997, the Company redeemed, at the original purchase price, 80,000
shares of its common stock from a third party.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Frost and Hanna
commencing on September 15, 1996 and requiring monthly salaries of $10,000 each
plus monthly nonaccountable expense allowances of $1,000 each which are
routinely paid on the first of each month. In the event the Company requires in
excess of 20% of the net proceeds for operations, Messrs. Frost and Hanna, have
undertaken to defer their salaries and expense allowances prospectively until
the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination.
The Company shall reimburse its officers and directors for any accountable
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with activities on behalf of the
Company. There is no limit on the amount of such reimbursable expenses, and
there will be no review of the reasonableness of such expenses by anyone other
than the Board of Directors, all of the members of which are officers.
Commencing on January 15, 1997, the Company moved its executive offices to a
new location pursuant to a three-year lease agreement at an approximate cost
per month of $3,291.
6. PENDING MERGER
The Company is in proceedings to obtain stockholders approval to adopt an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 27, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement")
among the Company, FHGB Acquisition Corporation ("FHGB"), a New York
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Gaines Berland,
Inc., a New York corporation, GBI Trading Corp., a New York corporation and
wholly owned subsidiary of Gaines Berland, and Gaines Berland Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Gaines Berland
(collectively, "Gaines Berland").
The Merger Agreement provides that FHGB will merge with and into Gaines
Berland, with Gaines Berland being the surviving corporation in the transaction
(the "Merger") as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the separate
existence of FHGB will cease. The Merger will become effective upon the filing
of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of New
York. It is anticipated that such filing will be made within fifteen days after
all of the conditions precedent to the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or
waived.
F-9
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Gaines Berland shareholders have the
right to receive (subject to certain adjustments) 21,917 shares of the
Company's common stock in exchange for each share of Gaines Berland common
stock held (the "Common Stock Conversions") by them at the effective date of
the Merger (the "Effective Date"), not to exceed 16,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. Each share of FHGB's common stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall, by virtue of the
Merger, automatically be converted into one share of the Company's common
stock. None of the shares of the Company's common stock currently outstanding
will be converted or otherwise modified in the Merger and all of such shares
will continue to be outstanding capital stock of the Company after the
Effective Date.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated by the Company and/or Gaines Berland
under certain circumstances. If the Merger Agreement is terminated by Gaines
Berland because one or more of the representations made by the Company in the
Merger Agreement is not accurate or because the Company has breached any
covenant set forth in the Merger Agreement, then the Company must pay Gaines
Berland a fee equal to $250,000. If the Merger Agreement is terminated by the
Company because one or more of the representations made by Gaines Berland in
the Merger Agreement is not accurate or because Gaines Berland has breached any
covenant set forth in the Merger Agreement, then Gaines Berland must pay the
Company a fee equal to $250,000. If the Merger Agreement is terminated by
Gaines Berland because the Company fails to obtain the required shareholder
vote for the approval of the Merger due to the fact that the Company's Board of
Directors withdrew its recommendation for the Merger in order to satisfy its
fiduciary duty to its shareholders, the Company must pay Gaines Berland a fee
equal to $100,000.
In the event that the net Escrow Fund of the Company is less than $4,500,000 at
the Effective Date, then Gaines Berland may elect to (i) terminate the Merger
or (ii) determine a new Common Stock Conversion ration to be adjusted to the
nearest lower whole number by multiplying it by a fraction, the number of which
is $4,500,000 and the denominator of which is the net Escrow Fund.
